Posted by Matt in June 12th, 2008

President Sarkozy seeks a rapprochement with NATO while strengthening the European Union’s defense dimension. France’s allies, including the United States and Germany, have welcomed this. But Sarkozy faces strong domestic resistance to changing France’s relationship to NATO. By Leo Michel more…

	50 years of European integration as seen from Afghanistan Mr Hansjoerg Kretschmer, Head of the EC Delegation to Afghanistan, and Mr Abdul Hameed Mubarez, Afghan historian and poet, draw a parallel between the conditions at the end of thirty years of war and civil strife in Europe in 1945 and Afghanistan today. The European integration was born out of political vision and historical necessity to say "no more" to war and destruction. Tags: Afghanistan, Commission, EU, European, History, II, Kabul, War, World

	Parsing the Iran Challenge Ruprecht Polenz, a senior CDU Member of the Bundestag, is one of the most powerful German voices on his country's foreign policy and national security policy issues. He has been focused on what is real, what is not, and what policy contours America and Europe should take towards Iran for some time. In addition, his Foreign Affairs Committee determines, with the government and the full Bundestag, whether or not German forces will be deployed, so he is keenly interested in NATO operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan and will speak to these topics in his remarks.

	After 9/11, Why Afghanistan? Investment Banker Karl Schwartz lays it out 1. The Caspian Sea Basin (Kazakstan, Turkmenistan etc.) holds between 11 and 12 TRILLION dollars in oil and gas resources 2. There are only three ways to get it out: - East to China - West through Iran, Russia, and Turkey to Europe - South through Afghanistan and Pakistan 3. The Taliban who controlled Afghanistan before 9/11 made pipeline deals with non-US companies and refused to change them to give control of the region's resources to the US Note: To everyone who has watched this video "Please Spread the Truth", ad it to your Favorites and share it with your Friends.

	European Journal \| France - Europe's Forgotten Refugees Some 700 to 800 refugees from Afghanistan, Eritrea and Darfur are stranded in the French coastal town of Calais. They want to travel to England where they hope to work illegally. They're only 30 kilometers away from British territory but many will never make it past the surveillance cameras and electrical fences to the port. Most of the refugees here can't be deported because they come from countries in conflict. So these displaced people are now housed in barracks and old trailers, and given food and clothing by aid organisations. Tags: Deutsche, DW-TV, Europe, European, Journal, Welle
	The Oil Factor - Why are we in Afghanistan? O-I-L www.linktv.org "The Oil Factor" Why are we in Afghanistan? OIL!!!! We wanted a huge oil pipeline to go from the Afghan-Pakistan region to the Indian Ocean and the Taliban was in our way. So we got them out of our way which is what 9/11 provided and now we get our oil pipeline. Simple! The permanent US military bases all correspond to oil areas and they are so massive that they rival the permanent bases in Europe. Here is a clue- we aren't leaving Iraq/Afghanistan any time soon. And the war has all been for oil. Blood for oil...American blood for American oil...at least that's how the oil is seen by the Bush Administration. So that's why American soldiers are dying in Afghanistan...for a pipeline that the Taliban did not allow. The leader of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai was a...

	Project Jupiter feat. 9th Company (HardStyle) This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My rifle, without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than any enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will.... My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and... Tags: afghan, afghanistan, annihilate, Drill, europe, Hardcore, Hardstyle, Hardtrance, Jupiter, muslim, Project, sergant, soviet, war
	Once Upon a Time - Afghanistan Nov 2001 As the future of Afghanistan hangs in the balance, we look back on the country's past and ask where its future lies? The rugged terrain of Afghanistan has often found itself at the centre of some of the world's major conflicts. The pictures on our television screens show a country virtually destroyed by war. Yet it wasn't always so: film footage from the 1970s paints a very different picture, of an open and modern society. The capital Kabul buzzes with life, its streets filled with cars, bicycles and pedestrians. At this time, Kabul was famed as an exotic stop-off point on the hippy trail between Europe and India. "That was a golden period for the Afghans," reminisces Dr Ahmed Abdul Javid, former Chancellor of Kabul University. Until the Taliban enforced an Islamic year zero in...
